Description

Mostyn Cottage is a charming detached stone-built property beneath a traditional slate roof, set within approximately five acres of the stunning Coed y Brenin Forest. Enjoying breathtaking views over the Afon Mawddach, this peaceful rural retreat offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a lifestyle change, while remaining conveniently accessible. The A470 is just a five-minute drive away, providing easy connections to the nearby towns of Dolgellau, Barmouth and Porthmadog.

Surrounded by the renowned Coed y Brenin Mountain Bike Centre and an extensive network of walking and cycling trails, the area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Scenic forest routes, waterfalls and rivers are all on the doorstep, making it an idyllic location to enjoy the natural beauty of Eryri (Snowdonia).

The property has been extensively and sympathetically renovated to a high standard, successfully blending its traditional character with modern comforts to create a spacious and welcoming family home. An additional benefit is the inclusion of two fully furnished timber cabins, set within the grounds, which provide an excellent opportunity for holiday letting and an established additional income.

The main house offers well-proportioned accommodation comprising an entrance hallway, sitting room, kitchen, inner hallway, utility room and a second sitting room/snug on the ground floor. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including two with en-suite facilities, together with a third Jack-and-Jill bathroom.

Each of the two timber cabins offers open-plan sitting room/kitchen accommodation, a bedroom and a shower room, together with a private decked seating area overlooking the surrounding countryside.

The grounds extend to approximately five acres and comprise landscaped terraced gardens, ample parking and predominantly woodland. Also within the grounds are the atmospheric remains of the former Mine Manager's House, adding further character and historical interest to this unique setting.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the exceptional lifestyle, income potential and idyllic location that Mostyn Cottage has to offer.

Please note: The property is currently operated as a highly successful holiday let and benefits from a 5-Star Food Hygiene Rating.
